Using monoclonal antibodies to prevent mucosal transmission of epidemic infectious diseases

L Zeitlin et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 1999 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Passive immunization with antibodies has been shown to prevent a wide variety of diseases. Recent advances in monoclonal antibody technology are enabling the development of new methods for passive immunization of mucosal surfaces. Human monoclonal antibodies, produced rapidly, inexpensively, and in large quantities, may help prevent respiratory, diarrheal, and sexually transmitted diseases on a public health scale.
